Our final phase of redevelopment: Discovery and Recovery

CAMH’s redevelopment project is part of our master plan to bring together programs, services and research at our Queen Street site and create a place that is integrated with our community. The end goal is to have a safe, comfortable and welcoming environment where patients can recover with dignity and change social attitudes toward mental illness. 

2024 kicks off the fourth and final stage of our historic redevelopment. We will begin construction on two new buildings at the south-east section of the Queen Street site. 

Construction activities will begin on January 15, 2024 at the Queen Street site. Here’s what you can expect:

• No pedestrian or vehicle access to Queen Street campus via Shaw Street;
• fencing and hoarding put up around the construction zones (see map below);
• large trucks and equipment entering and exiting the construction zones;
• excavation activities (this may include digging and removing grass, sidewalks, lamp posts, etc.).

These buildings will transform the care and treatment we can provide for some of our most vulnerable patients and will further research and discoveries that will improve the lives of people living with mental illness. We know once completed, these two buildings will generate hope and transform mental health care and research at CAMH and beyond. The site will also include additional public, open green spaces for the community to use. 

We know construction can be loud, messy and inconvenient. Thank you for your support and flexibility as we kick off these exciting projects and work towards the completion of decades of transformation. 

We will continue to provide regular updates on camh.ca/neigbours, and through our community mailing list. Questions? Email redevelopment.feedback@camh.ca
